Creature comforts.

I don't feel the best today and decide to have a chill day. The humidity here especially with the mask wearing saps your energy beyond belief. The hotel I'm staying at has kitchen facilities and with my stomach not up for anything spicy I head to the local supermarket to purchase something that will suffice. My purchases include fruit kellogs cornflakes bread and philladelphia as well as a mug and some milk so I can use the in house coffee machine( if I can work out how to use it)
Singapore is by far the cleanest city I have ever been to , smoking is strictly prohibited in the streets and the only way to have a cigarette is down little back streets next to the bins. Facemask wearing is also adhered to strongly and if your not wearing it properly you will be fined. As well as this it is also one of the safest and people leave things like phones and laptops on the sides of bars etc ( if you know me this is a blessing) as I think the punishment for any breaking of rules is so severe that it puts people off, but there's the other side where people here work together to make there living together easier. Everyone just gets along and I think a lot of countries could learn from this. Another thing I've noticed here is there are no homeless people in Singapore although I believe that that isn't necessarily the case and that there probably are but they are very well hidden out of view. The affluence here is also very apparent with me seeing 2 different Rolls Royce within days of each other. The good old British car definitely making an icon statement here of status. Chatting with the guys and girls In the bar they also explain they use the British education system qualifications here eg. GCSE and that all papers are sent to the UK to be marked. I would definitely recommend a week here to anyone it truly is an amazing city that has so much to do and see. Just bear with me as I'm trying to space things out with at least another fortnight here before I'm able to move on if I can. Still no news from Thailand , but I've managed to find a southeast Asia lonely planet in the bookcase here so have managed to look up a few options on my onwards travels from there to malaysia. Anyway a quick beer in the upstairs bar results in the bonus of a thunderstorm with a view and a few Watts app calls home are the perfect finish to my day.Read more
